Here's a photo of my aunt and uncle that my mom took in the 1970s. My uncle lives in Hungary and I haven't seen him in years but he's in the states and coming to visit me today. He's not doing great healthwise so unless I get the chance to go to Budapest in the next few years it could be the last time I see him. We aren't super close now but we were when I was a kid. He is absolutely brilliant. He speaks seven languages and lived all over the world when he was working in finance including NYC, London and even Moscow before the wall came down. In 2001 he left JP Morgan to start his own business but after September 11th he couldn't find work and around that time his wife had some health issues and he blew through all his savings taking care of her. She's Hungarian so that's why they moved to Budapest and she's doing well now and he ended up teaching English in Hungary and Romania before retiring.
